Second NIC not connected to kernel port

On my ESXi host on vSphere 6.5 I have 2 physical NIC's configured with nic teaming. They're configured to the switch as:

-Nic teaming (Route based on originating port ID).

-vmnic0 Uplink1, vmnic1 Uplink2

I noticed vmnic1 not being connected to the kernel port as show in this screenshot below:

Shouldn't vmnic1 also be connected to the kernel port? If yes, how do i make this happen?

Thanks
